In the News!

As Gary shared on the Think Like a Pancreas--The Podcast episode, The Latest in Diabetes Tech. An ATTD 2026 Recap with Gary Scheiner, Insulet has announced the upcoming Omnipod 5 updates include algorithm enhancements and expanded sensor compatibility.

These include a new 100 mg/dL target glucose option, designed for more time in range, with no meaningful impact on time below range. The enhanced algorithm is also designed to reduce interruptions and help users remain in Automated Mode, including during prolonged hyperglycemia.

Omnipod 5 will also integrate with the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor, expanding sensor choice for users who prefer FreeStyle Libre sensors, with access to LibreLinkUp to allow up to 20 followers.

AI is everywhere today, but is it helpful when it comes to managing your diabetes?

Jennifer Smith, RD, CDCES thinks not.

Its lack of human component is a huge detriment.

While there are some uses for AI in your diabetes management, the best tool to help you manage your diabetes is a human Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist.

If you are looking to work with educators who understand diabetes because they live it too, contact info@integrateddiabetes.com or book a session at https://integrateddiabetes.com/appointments/

AI can have value when managing your diabetes.

It is wonderful at analyzing specific, well-defined data sets.

One of the things that AI is not good at is hearing what you are not asking. It cannot infer or know the subtext of your life unless you input a huge amount of very detailed data into it with very specific prompts.

That is where a clinician comes in.

He/she not only has personality behind it in terms of how they talk about your diabetes, but they also have experience and education.

Do you need real help with finetuning your diabetes settings?

AI is everywhere.
It follows our online searches.
It notices the type of music that we like, but does it have a role in diabetes management?

According to Integrated Diabetes Clinicians Alicia Downs and Jennifer Smith, the answer is yes... and a hard no.

In this week's episodes of Think Like a Pancreas--The Podcast, learn the different types of AI and where they can be used when it comes to managing your diabetes.

Being active doesn't have to be hard.

It can be as easy as washing the dishes right after supper or pushing the cart in the grocery store.

The important part is the doing. The moving. The making the decision to find a way to incorporate more movement into everyday life.

Do you know what makes Integrated Diabetes Services truly special?

We get it!

We get the challenges of life with diabetes!

And we are here to help.

While Gary may enjoy his time on the court, in Episode 85 of Think Like a Pancreas--The Podcast, Dr. Paula admits that she really isn't into team sports. Between her medical clinic in South Africa, her IDS clients, and her family, she doesn't have time for the gym either, BUT she does incorporate activity and movement into every part of her day.
